Will I find it hard?

Difficulty depends on your experience, interests, teaching and assessment. These are our reflection prompts, not an official difficulty rating.

  • Try applying a concept to a real situation, rather than only remembering definitions.
  • Check the balance of written explanation, analysis and practical work for this exact course.

Does it scale up or down?
